Fees & Funding

Transparent weekly care home room rates at Penhill Residential Home, Shirehampton, Bristol.

We believe in clear, transparent pricing. Our weekly fees are based on the room you choose, with an additional charge if higher levels of personal care are needed.

Every enquiry is followed by an individual care assessment so that the total weekly fee is tailored to the resident’s actual needs. We are happy to discuss costs openly with families before any commitment is made.

How Our Fees Are Reviewed

We review fees every six months, normally aligned with the UK government’s spring and autumn budgets. This allows us to respond to inflation, changes to the National Living Wage and any new regulatory requirements while keeping increases as modest as possible.

The April 2026 increase has been held to a rounded 5%, below the full rise in our underlying costs. We always endeavour to give as much notice as possible of any future changes, and we reserve the right to make adjustments to advertised room and additional care rates.
